Just when you think the light at the beach is all flat and blah, you get a family who brightens it right up, plus a soft sunset and birds out of nowhere. Sometimes you just get lucky with your clients! The places i usually shoot at the beach were literally underwater from all the storms we had just before their session so we had to kinda go around a different way, but it all worked out ok and maybe even better! I know none of the kids (or the parents, really if we’re honest) love being in front of my camera but we always manage a few laughs at my inappropriate humor.

I love photographing this crew every year and have been for so long now. Their oldest left for college the day after this shoot (nothing like having to cancel our shoot a few times because of weather) and I cannot even believe that he’s old enough to go to college! Time does fly. They were fabulous as ever. Wishing Z the best of luck at school and hugs for everyone else in the family!

This awesome Dad bought his wife a bsquared gift card for a session for Mothers Day and they decided to use it last month for a family session at their summer home in Breezy Point. I think that was an excellent choice! Plus, it was a day or two before their oldest left for college so the timing couldn’t have been better. They were so great, inviting me for dinner/drinks after the shoot. Hopefully i’ll be able to stay next time cause I love Breezy and them!

My second time (i think) shooting this crew out at their Hamptons summer home. I just love the boat!! The classic wood look to it is amazing!! We hit up the dock behind their home and then over to their beach club for the rest of the session. With their dog for all spots of course! It was a gorgeous evening and even though a significant portion of the family is not really a fan of the pictures, we made it as fun as possible. I even got to meet the grandparents and uncle this time! Looking forward to my next shoot with them!

A longtime bsquared family who braved the wind (and it was SO windy!) for their shoot this year. I was so happy to see them all again, even with hair flying everywhere! This summer hasn’t been very nice weather wise so at this point I was just glad to get the shoot in at all! Wishing all the kids a great year at school (and parents too of course!) where I hope things are normal-ish. Thanks to all of them for being troupers with the wind!
